Best of Expo 2020 - Technology and content
I've got to say one of the pavillons really stood out: The Mobility Pavillon, heart of the Mobility sector. It's the only pavillon I visited twice. You can still go back to the Expo 2020 App for a virtual visit. It started with a pitch black moving cinema room that takes you to another level, a trip in history and the great arabic explorers. Giant statues realized with a lot of taste and creativity depicted them in very meticulous details, the wrinkles on the hands, real facial hair, shining eyes and skin imperfections. These were not your usual wax museum statues. Then the explorers of the sea (see picture below) and space.
After that intersting walk through history, is a giant globe picturing a history of human migration using state of the art technologies, and depicting the process of artificial intelligence. This walk becomes most interesting when you end up in a city of the future with screens in incredible shapes and sizes, broadcasting data and images constantly, and it truly feels like you're walking in a digital dream. At the end of the exhibit, the little girl meets a virtual being, uniting human heritage and virtual progress.
In terms of technological prowess, there are a lot of countries that exhibited interesting progress, such as the Czech republic where you could print 4D objects and witness their manufacture over a few hours; Russia's pavillon focused on the human brain, perception and how knowledge travels while comparing different species.
